Yes, I made a speech synthisizer using the voice synthesis set from radio shack.
 It took me a heck of a long time.  I don't think I ever found a complete
schematic of the circuit in any of their publications including the data
included with the chips.  My final product is a combination of about three
different schematics.  It interfaces to the parallel port of an IBM PC.  Mine
still has a bug or two, but I think they could be ironed out if I took the time
to do so.  One thing I might mention is that the static ram chip RS recomends
using to increase the input buffer is hard to come by and costs about twenty
dollars.  That is more than the voice chip set itself.
